Our GOAL is to share what we know about food gardening in South West Newfoundland.

• INSPIRE you to make a difference!
• EMPOWER everyone to get excited, get growing and share what you know with others!

This workshop is the first step in a community-wide project designed to revive local, sustainable gardening/farming to the Southwest Newfoundland. We want to raise awareness of issues around food-sovereignty and security in Southwest Newfoundland (SW NL) and are doing this through a knowledge-exchange partnership between the communities on the Southwest Coast, the New Brunswick-based Hayes Farm, DOCTalks Inc., and researchers at Memorial University.
